Colorful heirloom tomatoes, melon, and burrata combine for an elegant but easy summer salad
This is the first Summer in years we haven’t bought season tickets to the Hollywood Bowl. Between my work schedule and saving for a new property it seemed like the smart move and so far I haven’t missed it. We’re still planning to catch a few shows but don’t have every weekend planned.

The Hollywood Bowl is one of my all-time favorite venues. A giant, open-air amphitheater at the base of the Hollywood Hills it looks stunning and has a very relaxed atmosphere. It also attracts tons of local talent. Best of all, the Summer concerts allow you to bring your own wine and beer. Usually we’ll picnic before a show but, on special occasions, we eat at the fancy wine bar just inside the entrance.

Elegant but easy heirloom tomato, melon and burrata salad
This salad was inspired by a dish from that wine bar and the flavors capture the easy elegance of an evening at the Bowl – fresh tomatoes and cucumber, sweet melon, creamy burrata, refreshing mint and just a hint of finishing salt and dressing to tie it all together.  It’s a surprisingly wonderful combination.

The simpler the recipe, the more important the quality of ingredients so use the freshest produce you can find.

This salad takes only a few minutes to prepare but has layers of flavor that make it a great beginning to an impressive summer meal or a simple, light lunch.  Paleo and gluten-free, it should meet most guests’ dietary requirements.
